Patient's question:
Everything is normal. As soon as I fall asleep, I cough badly, and then I start dry heaving. Five days ago, I had a fever and coughed, but taking medicine helped, and drinking medicine also made it better. Three days ago, I started coughing and dry heaving at night. Now I have no appetite; I don't eat anything, only drink milk three times a day. What kind of assistance is needed: What caused this? What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Fever can cause coughing, and if the cough is too severe, it may lead to dry heaves.Recommendation: First, consider the possibility of bronchitis, tonsillitis, or pharyngitis. Since you also have poor appetite, it's better to receive intravenous fluids for anti-inflammatory treatment. Intravenous fluids allow for higher drug concentrations, faster onset of action, and better efficacy, while also providing nutritional energy.
For phlegm, you can try taking Xian Zhu Li orally.
Nursing Care: After a baby catches a cold, coughing is usually mild. In most cases, it's caused by upper respiratory tract infection, lung infection, or laryngeal mucosal inflammation, which leads to congestion and stimulation of peripheral nerve receptors, resulting in cough.
